To clarify, a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can modify the browser setting to decline cookies if you wish so. In that case, some aspects of the service may then not function properly.

We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.
   Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our websites, but your ability to use some features or areas of our websites may be limited.
5. Legal basis for processing
   There are a number of different legal grounds for processing personal data. Which one is applicable will depend on how we are using your information and for what purpose. In the majority of cases this condition will be that:
   
   1. You have provided your consent to us using your personal data in that way (for example where you provide us with consent to send you marketing communications about our products and services); and/or
   2. Our use of your personal data is in our legitimate interest as a commercial organisation. For example, we currently are not but may at some point in the future use cookies to track information about how our website is used in order to continually improve its layout based on how you and other users interact with its content, and to personalise it to the user (for example, by showing content or a language which is relevant to your geographic location), provided it is conducted at all times in a way that is proportionate, and that respects your privacy rights; and/or

If this would apply, we will generally rely on obtaining additional specific consent from you at the time we collect the information unless there is a legal requirement or other justification for processing that information.
6. Children
   Protecting children’s privacy is of high importance to us. Our websites and our games are not intended for children under 13 years old and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children under 13. In respect of games that are not directed at children but which may nonetheless appeal to them, we take additional steps to limit access to our services based on the player’s age.

   The personal data you provide to us may be shared with third-party companies, agents, contractors, service providers, or our affiliated companies if this is necessary to provide you with our services, respond to your inquiries, or for any of the purposes described in this Policy. This may include:
   1. Our business partners and suppliers;
   2. Sub-processors who store or process the information on our behalf, in particular data analytics providers and data storage providers. Information shared with such providers is supplied in an anonymised format such that, that data cannot be linked to any particular individual and is therefore not considered to be 'personal data';
   3. Our auditors, insurers, lawyers, and other professional advisers;
   4. Law enforcement agencies, other governmental agencies or third parties if we are required by law to do so;
   5. Other business entities should we plan to merge with or be acquired by that business entity, or if we undergo a re-organisation with that entity.

   Our games and services may include features from our partners, if any, such as social media interaction tools (and albeit not currently, in the future may also relate to in-game advertising). These partners, if any, may in such case, following your consent, access your data and operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to check their privacy policies to learn more about their data processing practices and opt out where you deem relevant.
9. International Data Transfers
   We may process and transfer your personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) where our group companies are located. We are aware that different countries may have different data protection laws, therefore, we will take steps to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data. Weuse the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Standard contractual clauses are a set of contract terms approved by certain jurisdictions and deemed to provide adequate protections for cross-border transfers.
   When we transfer your personal data to a third party in a country that does not offer adequate protections, we will make sure to protect your personal data by a) requiring that the third party applies the level of protection required under the applicable local data protection laws, b) requiring that the third party acts in accordance with our written instructions and our policies and standards and c) unless otherwise specified, only transferring your personal data on the basis of an appropriate contractual mechanism (such as the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission).
